Runtime¶

Upstream clusters support the following runtime settings:

Active health checking¶

health_check.min_interval: Min value for the health checking interval. Default value is 0. The health checking interval will be between min_interval and max_interval.
health_check.max_interval: Max value for the health checking interval. Default value is MAX_INT. The health checking interval will be between min_interval and max_interval.
health_check.verify_cluster: What % of health check requests will be verified against the expected upstream service as the health check filter will write the remote service cluster into the response.

See the outlier detection architecture overview for more information on outlier detection. The runtime parameters supported by outlier detection are the same as the static configuration parameters, namely:

outlier_detection.consecutive_5xx: consecutive_5XX setting in outlier detection
outlier_detection.consecutive_gateway_failure: consecutive_gateway_failure setting in outlier detection
outlier_detection.interval_ms: interval_ms setting in outlier detection
outlier_detection.base_ejection_time_ms: base_ejection_time_ms setting in outlier detection
outlier_detection.max_ejection_percent: max_ejection_percent setting in outlier detection
outlier_detection.enforcing_consecutive_5xx: enforcing_consecutive_5xx setting in outlier detection
outlier_detection.enforcing_consecutive_gateway_failure: enforcing_consecutive_gateway_failure setting in outlier detection
outlier_detection.enforcing_success_rate: enforcing_success_rate setting in outlier detection
outlier_detection.success_rate_minimum_hosts: success_rate_minimum_hosts setting in outlier detection
outlier_detection.success_rate_request_volume: success_rate_request_volume setting in outlier detection
outlier_detection.success_rate_stdev_factor: success_rate_stdev_factor setting in outlier detection

upstream.healthy_panic_threshold: Sets the panic threshold percentage. Defaults to 50%.
upstream.use_http2: Whether the cluster utilizes the http2 feature if configured. Set to 0 to disable HTTP/2 even if the feature is configured. Defaults to enabled.
upstream.weight_enabled: Binary switch to turn on or off weighted load balancing. If set to non 0, weighted load balancing is enabled. Defaults to enabled.

upstream.zone_routing.enabled: % of requests that will be routed to the same upstream zone. Defaults to 100% of requests.
upstream.zone_routing.min_cluster_size: Minimal size of the upstream cluster for which zone aware routing can be attempted. Default value is 6. If the upstream cluster size is smaller than min_cluster_size zone aware routing will not be performed.

circuit_breakers.<cluster_name>.<priority>.max_connections: Max connections circuit breaker setting
circuit_breakers.<cluster_name>.<priority>.max_pending_requests: Max pending requests circuit breaker setting
circuit_breakers.<cluster_name>.<priority>.max_requests: Max requests circuit breaker setting
circuit_breakers.<cluster_name>.<priority>.max_retries: Max retries circuit breaker setting
